Scientific references abounded in Breaking Bad, even if some of them went over the heads of the most ardent viewers. A few of those references were through symbolism in the field of chemistry. However ...

Physicists in Austria and Japan are the first to measure two physical quantities that were used in 1927 by Werner Heisenberg in an early formulation of quantum mechanics – but then abandoned because ...

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Strong has joined Catcher Was a Spy. He plays the pivotal role of Werner Heisenberg, the enigmatic lead scientist for the Nazi atomic program who would become the main target in the ...

Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. The principle has bedeviled quantum physicists for nearly a ...

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for ...

Given Walter's considerable reliance on science in his work in Breaking Bad, Heisenberg is a reference to a real-life physicist. The Nobel Prize was awarded to Werner Heisenberg for his research on ...

Devised by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the so-called uncertainty principle states that we cannot accurately know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or ...

A group of physicists in Spain has shown how to make a quantum measurement that overcomes a limit related to Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The researchers confirmed a theoretical ...

The White House has a scientific explanation for why reporters aren't allowed to view President Barack Obama's interactions with campaign donors: The very act of observing an event can change the ...

Werner Heisenberg delivered his research seminar in Zurich in December 1944, unaware that there was an American spy in the audience under orders to assassinate him if he offered hints of progress ...
